"Please wake up young master it is time for breakfast." A female behind the door told me.

'Wait a minute.... wtf just happened?

As the door opened a beautiful brunette with huge breasts in a maid outfit entered the room and my jaw dropped to the floor. 

The maid giggled in a cute way at my expression and I blushed.

"Let's get you dressed up young master. It's time for breakfast." 

She picked me up and began to undress me. I was still trying to wrap my mind around what the hell was happening. I suddenly remembered the survey that I took last night. 

'Wait a minute.... it can't be... the survey was real!!'

I nearly said that out loud and the young woman looked at me with an amused expression and I blushed again. I've never been so close to such a beautiful woman before and it unnerved me.

Before I realized it she stripped me down to my underwear and was looking at my adolescent body. I was uncomfortable and she seemed to realize it and to my relief she quickly helped me wear a fancy looking shirt and pants that looked like they were for rich people.

'Shit... am I really royalty now? I seriously hit the jackpot!'

The pretty woman in the maid outfit led me out of the room and took me to a small room with a small table with food on it and in there was an even more beautiful woman whose looks could only be described as godlike.

She was the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen. Shiny black hair, high cheek bones with grey eyes. I also noticed that she had pointy ears.

"You're late Ivan." the pointy eared lady said in a firm tone.

I assumed she was speaking to me and I froze. My  mind blanked out as I didn't know how to respond.

The lady saw my expression and laughed teasingly.

"Hahaha. No need to be afraid Ivan. Come and give mama a kiss. Did you sleep well?"

I timidly walked towards her and gave her a kiss on the cheek and she kissed me back on my forehead. 

'She's my mother... what a bummer...'

We began eating a simple meal composed of some warm soup, bread and some sort of meat.

While eating I thought to myself. 'Wait... I'm half hum and 1/4 elf and 1/4 demon... if she's my mother then is she a demon and an elf?'

The soup was surprisingly delicious  and I wolfed it down and my mother laughed and told me to slow down.

"Today's your birthday Ivan. Your father sent you a gift. It's in the courtyard. Shall we head there now?" My mother asked.

I tried my best to act like a 5 year old as much as possible and began jumping up and down yelling "YES!" 

My mother laughed a beautiful laugh and we walked to the courtyard while holding hands.

Her laugh was beautiful. I was falling in love with her already. If only she wasn't my  mother...

As we were walking to the courtyard I was able to get a good look at the palace that we were living in. It was quite huge with beautiful pieces of artwork on the walls and there was red velvet carpets that was laid out in the hallways. 

We passed by a number of guards who bowed down respectfully to us as we passed by.

I had a few questions in my mind as we were walking such as, 'Where is my father? If it's my birthday how come he didn't come see me? And why were we eating in such a small room if we're royalty?'

We reached the courtyard. It had a beautiful intricately designed fountain in the middle and a lot of flowers the decorated the courtyard.

Next to the fountain I saw that there were 10 young children who looked no older than I was. They were all dirty and covered with filth and they smelled a little.

"Come and choose your first slave dear Ivan." My mother told me.

'Huh? This world has slaves? I have to act normally.... so she doesn't suspect anything weird from me.'

I observed the 10 young pitiful looking children.

There were 5 boys and 5 girls.

"Can I only choose 1 mama?" I asked.

"Yes dear. Only 1." My mother replied.

"But whhhhhyyyyy???" I asked in a childlike tone.

I attempted to act as childlike as possible but mother firmly refused me and only allowed me to choose 1 slave.

One of them caught my eye the instant I laid eyes on them and so I decided to choose him as my birthday present.

He was a skinny frail looking boy with blonde hair and green eyes. I could tell that he would break many female hearts in the future when he matures. But what was different about him from the others was his eyes. He had a certain fierceness in his eyes that refused to give up. 

The others' eyes were all lifeless and dead. They all gave up on life. But this one didn't. He still had a burning fire in his eyes and I looked that.

"I choose him mama."

"Oooh. My son certainly has good taste. Very well. Nina get rid of the rest."

We left the courtyard and the slave I chose followed us. I heard screams of pain behind us from the courtyard.

'They couldn't possibly have....'

I turned around and my slaves face turn pale behind all the dirt and grime. That was when I knew that I practically killed all the other 9 children with my decision.

Nina, the pretty young brunette took my slave to wash him and my mother told me to go play by myself.

There was still so many questions that I had but I kept my mouth shut and went into my room.

Waiting in my room was really boring I had nothing to do except lay down in my bed. I mean seriously, what kind of royalty doesn't spoil their children?

After about 2 hours or so of painfully waiting the door opened and my new slave came in. When I saw him I felt conflicted about what I did and it gave me a nauseous feeling.

"Hi. What's your name?" I asked.

"I don't have one mi'lord."

"Hmm... then I'll give you one. I think I'll call you Alder."

He seemed to brighten up with his new name and smiled a little but the smile went away just as quickly.

"Nice to meet you Alder. I hope we can be good friends from now on."

"B-b-but m-mi'lord. I'm not worthy of such an honor."

'Sigh... this kid has a big vocabulary for a 5 year old.'

I began to chatter on and asked him various questions about his life. At first he was cautious about after a while I wore him down and he smiled a little.

Turns out that he's actually a pretty shy kid and doesn't get out much. But of course... his parents did sell him into slavery because of their debt... and he was beaten while held captive and raped.... but I'm sure that he could get over it with time...

I think I like him.
